Short and sweet

Pink Floyd (Zen) and the art of (drunk) bicycle riding--

Music is the key to everything, oui?

Start with some sassy Prince's "Kiss" to get the pedals going and the heart pumping.

Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with...

Set the groove with Deep Purple's "Magic Carpet Ride"

Why don't ya come with me little girl...

Then find Elysium and cruise with Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb"

I can't explain, you would not understand; this is not how I am...

Lyrically Speaking 3: Musical Autobiography

This has been the most fun so far! I only took one tiny liberty in the lyrics I used, you will see it in red.



Please allow me to introduce myself
I am woman, hear me roar
I been bummin’ around this old town so long
I have friends in low places.

My mama said
Not so long ago
She’s a good girl, living in Reseda.

I remember, I remember
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Life in the fast lane
Lookin’ for some hot stuff baby
Wanna bring a wild man back home.

I know one thing
I don’t like Reggae—I love it.
Wanna dance my life away
Come back baby, rock and roll never forgets.

All the boys say
She’s a black magic woman
But when you’re good to mama, mama’s good to you.

Girls say
Hey sister, go sister, soul sister
Mama’s got a squeeze box, daddy never sleeps at night.

I can see clearly now
I hear you call my name and it feels like home
Oh Ricky you’re so fine, you’re so fine you blow my mind
Sugar-pie honey-bunch, you know that I love you
I’ll stand by you.

I’ve had the time of my life…

Lyrically Speaking--the enhanced version

To take Lyrically Speaking to the next level, I decided to write a blog ‘story’ using lyrics. We’ll see how it goes. For the thoroughly confused, I’ve put the lyrics in colored font--broken down to show different song sources.

If you wake up and don’t wanna smile, let me tell you a story. It seemed so wrong but now it seems so right, Stacy’s mom has got it going on.
She looked at me and said, “Won’t you take me to…Funky Town?”
I replied, “I believe in miracles! Where you from, you sexy thing? Let my love open the door!”
So I put her on the back of my bike and we went riding. Moonlight feels right.
Heeeeeey, yah! I used her, she used me, but neither one cared--we were gettin’ our share.
She’s so mean, but I don’t care…like a genie in a bottle, I have become comfortably numb.
Maybe I’ll hear her say, “Hit me baby, one more time.”

Something is WRONG

This will be short & sweet~
Scary things are happening in our world right now, a lot of them bad. I'm not sure there is a direct link to my experience, or if it is truly blog worthy (wait--since when have I written "worthy" blogs?) but--
I had to write this down to believe it…I got an appointment at the eye doctor for Wednesday. As in TOMORROW. Not a cancellation—I had my choice of times!! Has Hell frozen over???

Son of FRANKENBLOG

I liked my monster so much, I had to do another. You know what they say about sequels...

Anyway. Like the first creation, I have scavenged bits and pieces from older blogs and put them together in no particular order. The continuity actually surprised me.

************************************

The portrait is Clytie, a water nymph who was in love with Apollo. When he rejected her, she sat in one spot watching the sun (Apollo) go across the sky until she turned into a sunflower.

Don’t get me wrong--I am not totally devoid of any good eating habits. But who has ever said their comfort food was a tossed salad? Or grapefruit?

The small girl smiles, one eyelid flickers
She whips a pistol from her knickers
She aims it at the creature’s head
And bang bang bang, she shoots him dead

4) I HATE Ferris wheels.

Lunch lady at a junior high school…I charged kids a dime to see my tattoo.

Our whole family played up the Santa thing, but I didn’t believe that anymore than I did a “heavenly father” who (coincidentally) was also pictured as a kindly old man with a white beard.

First of all, I come by this honestly. As far back as I can remember, my mother talked about Elizabeth Taylor’s eyes.

Growing up in a medium size town--as opposed to a “big city”--I didn’t think I’d ever have much contact with crime, let alone murder victims.

15) I took a speed-reading course, and got up to 361 words a minute.

Lyrically Speaking

I have spent large chunks of time in any given day thinking in song lyrics. This must be because they occupy the largest portion of my brain. Really. I even try to converse with people using song lyrics, and I have decided this is the truest definition of the term,

Lyrically Speaking

For this blog I just made a list of songs I agree or disagree with.

I Ain’t No Holler Back Girl.

I’m NOT a Loser, Baby.

I’ve NEVER Seen a Bad Moon Rising.

It IS Getting Hot in Here!

All I Wanna Do is Dance.

I DO NOT Want to See You Laughing in the Purple Rain.

You DO NOT Make Me Feel Shiny and New…OR Like a Natural Woman, either.

Sarcasm for fun and profit

A couple years ago we received a gift which had a fake warning label on the back, and it was hysterical. I immediately decided this was my calling. So I went home and wrote my own fake warning label to pitch to....someone....to get a job doing what I do best--mocking anything serious.

I'm not sure if I ever followed up on that idea, but I just found my silly label and decided it had languished in the darkness of my hard drive too long--time to bring it out into the light of blog.


USING YOUR NEW BLUFFINGTON MOUSEPAD:
This mousepad is made of noninflammable products. Do not attempt to inflame it. As with all mousepads, the New Bluffington mousepad should never be used to pad a mouse. Doing so could result in extremely irritated mice. Use only mild soap and water to remove any debris. Food, beer, and cigarette butts are considered excessive debris and may not respond to soap and water alone. In case of tornado, take shelter in your basement. In such situations, no mousepad can be expected to perform properly, if at all. Not for human consumption. Non-human consumption is in the eye of the beholder. New Bluffington mousepads are considered legal tender in Utopia, Atlantis, and portions of Xanadu. All other claims are fictitious.
